King Charles to be coronated?

No. You're not being at all unreasonable. It annoys me too.

😂
Coronated?!!
Did Trump say that?

No you're not being unreasonable, but when I see he's going to be coronated, it does make me chuckle.

No.
just somewhat pedantic

As a fully paid up pedant, I feel I should link to another thread on this topic.

I think it sounds like something medical as well NotTooOld crowned is the word for me.

Coronated is just wrong. It has always been crowned. Where did that word come from?

Coronate comes the word coronation and means crown shaped but there's no such word as coronated.

Thank you smileless. I could have looked that up myself but I feel so lazy lately.

Me too AGAA4 which is why I'm on GN.

Sorry - I should have checked there was not already a thread on the subject. It's Christmas m'lud, lots to do and making me confusicated or possibly confiscated.

There is such a word but it is used to indicate crown-type markings on eg a bird can be described as having coronated plumage
( zoology) Having a crest or a crownlike appendage. · (zoology) Having the coronal feathers. ...

This is a deviation but I heard Shirley Ballad day a couple were 'dynamical' on Saturday. Made me laugh.

Some one was ‘medalled ’ at. the Olympics, according to Mat Baker.

And of course, anyone out of favour has been ‘Markled’.

Charles is going to be made into a crown shape?! Not in the least bit pedantic, OP. Coronated is ridiculous.

It’s a word much used in India, according to DS who lives there. Together with such words as “pre-poned”, brought forward, opposite of postponed! 😂

I have heard lots of words like this recently. Someone claimed to be a "flutist". Or is that the correct term nowadays?

That is horrible!

Only repeating what is apparently a common term used when someone is out of favour.

Used a lot on social media.

But nothing, IMO, is as bad as describing someone who has been aided in their ablutions, as having been "toileted".

That one makes me curl up into a little cringing ball, snowflake that I am.

I was visiting a Dsis in the US when the Queen died, and saw ‘coronated’ in the highly respected Boston Globe newspaper the day after.

While I’m at it, does ‘obligated’ get on anyone else’s nerves? I’m seeing it everywhere. Whatever happened to ‘obliged’?

Oh yes, Witzend, "obligated" gets me shouting at the TV too!

I've mentioned before, (but it annoys me so much that I'm going to mention it again, so there), the increasing use of "one/two/fifty year anniversary" and even "six month anniversary"!! Does nobody know these days what "anniversary" means?

Sorry, Not Too Old, meant to say that "coronated" is exceptionally silly!
